Type of comment: General Comment Comments: Dear Sirs, I have let you know about my objections in a previous application for this planning permission. I wish to confirm what was sent to you. In addition I would like to inform you of possible serious consequences if planning permission is granted, and they are as follows:- The ground in this area is unstable vis the considerable time and expense a Mr. John Farmer had to accept when building Welkin House, his new, and I might add, out of character building next to this proposed planning application. He had to excavate very deeply to be assured of foundation stability, and it still may be unstable as a stream still flows under it as mentioned in other objections. If the ground slips away downwards it will cause considerable damage to the property known as "The Pear Tree" and other properties further down the hillside. From what I experienced when installing rotary ash pan Baxi fireplaces in Dale View House. My property also has suspect foundations based on loose slate like stone and a sandy material. This whole bank at Stanton-Lees is built on what might be called quarry waist from activities way back in the past.

At the top of the small hill on the lane above the hamlet, and north to the area of this present planning application, there is what we call the "Nick" there appears to be a ridge from the side of the moor where quarrying took place, most likely man made, which lines up very well with the area, known as "Bee Hill", which is probably a spoil heap from excessive quarrying in the past. A small stone built hut is located close to the road on the western side with a port hole in its side, possibly some kind of checking office for the passage of such loose material. Mr. J. D. Barnes.
